How to Push Your Limits to Achieve More Success

How to push your limits to achieve more success in business, in your career, in your personal development and in your entire life? Should you just force yourself, escape rests, and consume all your energy and resources to go beyond your limits and capabilities? Of course you can do that, but will it really bring you more success… or will it just push you near to failure and tragedy? We should observe prudence all the time. Better if we can also come up with a good plan. Yes, we need even a simple plan to push ourselves beyond our limitations. The fact that we are deciding to cross the border line is a matter that we need to pay attention. It could mean a do or die decision. But we don’t need to die to achieve more success. You wouldn’t surely enjoy it, would you? That is why we need to know how to do it right – the right way to put yourself out from your comfort zone.

Strengthen your hands first before pushing your limits

The key to pushing one’s limits is to grow first, and growing should mean growing gradually. If you can observe it… the verb is “push”. This means you need a stronger hand and a more powerful body. Do you want to earn more profit in your small business? You don’t need to force yourself too hard and even escape eating and sleeping in working around the clock just to make more money. As I said, you need to grow to push your limit. You need to make your hands and body stronger to move what you can’t usually move. If you want to generate more income in your business, you need to grow by learning, practicing and recovering. You also grow by collaborating. You don’t need to do it all overnight and do it alone. You need to do it gradually with the help from other people. Developing yourself as a better businessman or entrepreneur takes time. Learning and winning some friends that will help you also takes time. Thus, you need to be patient and persistent in constantly growing to push your limits repeatedly.

Pushing your limits is not a one-time process

That’s right! It should not be a one-time feat, but it should be a series of persistent actions. For example, lasting business success isn’t done overnight, but it is done on a couple of productive nights. This series of days and nights of striving to achieve progress is not done without giving yourself enough breaks and time for recovery after a series of hard work. In fact, it is during recovery time that ourselves are developed and become stronger than before. Just like when you are building muscles, it’s not actually during the time you lift weights that the development of your body happens. Your body develops stronger muscle tissues during the time you rest and recover. This can be the same with all your activities in life. If you want to make more money by attracting more sales, make a good marketing plan and push your limits not only once, but a number of times according to your plan.

We are all actually keeping on pushing ourselves almost every day. That is because we are actually growing everyday. The only problem is that some or most of us aren’t fully aware of that. That is why this growth is usually ignored and even stopped… because of people’s desire and craving to hit a big success in one attempt. Therefore, the lesson is…

“To push your limits to achieve more success, grow continuously, then push your limits not only once, but many times until you reach ultimate success.
